Strasburg!!!
Thnx
Bravo. Your son will learn from the professionals at the Balboa RR set in San Diego. Yes, the Christmas displays are heartwarming and landscaping takes special skills. Bravissimo.
Model railroading seems to be big in S. Arizona.
Three spots in Tucson, only 70 miles from Sierra Vista -

Strasburg used to have a genuine railroad line you could ride, chuffing along behind a real old-time steam locomotive for about eight miles through beautiful Amish country in central Penna - was last there about twenty years ago - hope its still in operation.....
Love it
The Strasburg railway is still there and along side is the Pennsylvania Railroad Museum. Both are worth the trip.
Tour Atlanta’s Great Model Railroads
This tour is six weekends long consisting of the layouts of the Piedmont Division of the National Model Railroad Association members.
All the layouts are worth seeing, many are extraordinary. These model railroaders open up their homes to complete strangers every year. We are always amazed. Even if we see some of the same layouts year after year, it never gets old. Some of the landscaping and buildings are museum quality presentations.
Still there and it is amazing! http://roadsideamericainc.com/
